Lymphocytic Colitis and Diabetes: What foods can I eat?
Digestive Health | Last Active: Sep 9, 2022 | Replies (29)Comment receiving replies
Hi fellow members! I am newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and also have been diagnosed now for several years with Lymphocytic colitis (LC). Wondering if anyone has similar issues and knows how to maintain a good sugar level, while eating properly for the LC issues. Thanks for any feedback.

@knitonepurl2 -
I have dealt with microscopic colitis on and off for years and then also diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Over the years I have taken prednisone for asthma and this also helped my colitis. However, it caused weight gain, worsening diabetes control.
I succeeded in losing 45 lbs over one year by eating a low carb diet. It was perfect for me, kept me full. Mostly proteins and some healthy fats. My blood sugar improved so much that I didn’t have to take my oral medication for glucose control.
I don’t tolerate fiber and stay away from any fiber supplements.

Welcome knitonepurl, judging from your username, I suspect you are a knitter, right?
I moved your question about maintaining a good sugar level for type 2 diabetes, while eating properly for the lymphocytic colitis issues to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can easily connect with @petepat3234 @astaingegerdm @joanie45 @pruittycat @oakbourne, who live with lymphocytic colitis and diabetes or endocrine issues.
Being diagnosed with a new condition while managing an existing condition can be overwhelming. Do you have access to a diabetes educator or dietitian to help you map out a good plan right for you?
